What is the best way to implement nested dictionaries?

What is the best way to implement nested dictionaries in Python? This is a bad idea, don’t do it. Instead, use a regular dictionary and use dict.setdefault where apropos, so when keys are missing under normal usage you get the expected KeyError.

Mapping two integers to one, in a unique and deterministic way

Cantor pairing function is really one of the better ones out there considering its simple, fast and space efficient, but there is something even better published at Wolfram by Matthew Szudzik, here. The limitation of Cantor pairing function (relatively) is that the range of encoded results doesn’t always stay within the limits of a 2N … Read more

Server.MapPath(“.”), Server.MapPath(“~”), Server.MapPath(@”\”), Server.MapPath(“/”). What is the difference?

Server.MapPath specifies the relative or virtual path to map to a physical directory. Server.MapPath(“.”)1 returns the current physical directory of the file (e.g. aspx) being executed Server.MapPath(“..”) returns the parent directory Server.MapPath(“~”) returns the physical path to the root of the application Server.MapPath(“https://stackoverflow.com/”) returns the physical path to the root of the domain name (is … Read more

What is the ideal data type to use when storing latitude / longitude in a MySQL database?

Basically it depends on the precision you need for your locations. Using DOUBLE you’ll have a 3.5nm precision. DECIMAL(8,6)/(9,6) goes down to 16cm. FLOAT is 1.7m… This very interesting table has a more complete list: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/latlng : Datatype Bytes Resolution Deg*100 (SMALLINT) 4 1570 m 1.0 mi Cities DECIMAL(4,2)/(5,2) 5 1570 m 1.0 mi Cities … Read more

What is the difference between the remap, noremap, nnoremap and vnoremap mapping commands in Vim?

remap is an option that makes mappings work recursively. By default it is on and I’d recommend you leave it that way. The rest are mapping commands, described below: :map and :noremap are recursive and non-recursive versions of the various mapping commands. For example, if we run: :map j gg (moves cursor to first line) … Read more

Mapping UID and GID of local user to the mounted NFS share

This is what idmapping is suppose to do. First of all, enable is on the client and server: # echo N > /sys/module/nfs/parameters/nfs4_disable_idmapping clean idmap cache and restart idmap daemon: # nfsidmap -c # service rpcidmapd restart Now on server and the client will send instead of numeric IDs string principals like bob@YOURDOMAIN.COM. You need … Read more
